Sawyer (6-3, 235), a four-star prospect whose North Gwinnett team lost to Norcross in Georgia's Class AAAAAA championship game last weekend, has a teammate -- four-star receiver Nate Brown -- who has committed to Missouri and has been getting a nudge from South Carolina commit Bryson Allen-Williams to choose the Gamecocks.

After a visit to Auburn in October, Sawyer said he liked how the Tigers were using freshman defensive end and former five-star prospect Carl Lawson. "That's something I'm looking for in a college," he told Rivals. "I'm an aggressive player like Lawson. I eat quarterbacks - for breakfast, brunch, lunch dinner, midnight snack. You name it."
